A bureau is a piece of furniture, often used for storage, with drawers or compartments. It is commonly found in bedrooms and is used for storing clothes, documents, or other personal items.

Bureaus are typically made of wood, but they can also be found in other materials. The design of a bureau can range from simple and functional to more ornate, depending on the style and period it is from.
